Abstract
We proposed a fast response time in-plane swithcing (IPS) liquid cryatal (LC) mode in the photo-alignment layer. In order to achieve the fast response time, we first enhanced the anchoring energy of the photo-alignment layer by coating the reactive mesogens (RMs) which can modify the surface condition and also applied the low cell property in the LC cell by using the positive A-plate with same effective retardation as the LC layer. In the experiments, we demonstrated that the coated RM layer can make the strong surface anchoring energy because of its strong polymer chain by the UV exposure and also confirmed the improved response time in the low cell gap IPS cell. As measured results, the response time of the proposed IPS LC cell could be improved over 56.86% and 62.18% compared with that of a conventional photo-aligned IPS cell with/without RM coating, respectively because of the low cell gap property.
